we are late getting going on the sowing as going away, and worried will all die!
however, we have stripped the ivy off one of the house walls, and lots of undergrowth from around the veg patch [don’t worry, plenty of wildlife habitat over the rest of the garden! ] so had a big bonfire. we have invested in plastic mulch to put all over the place, as we really just don’t keep up with the weeding, and will lift it up only to plant through newspaper [not everything liked the cardboard]
